Thank you to the over 250 people who came out for the first-ever public hearing in Live Oak to consider the Redevelopment Agency's 5-year Implementation Plan. It was a historic meeting at a historic site to approve a plan to help shape the Live Oak and Soquel communities. The public was overwhelmingly supportive of the plan which the community helped to create. Supervisor Leopold led with brief remarks that capture the spirit of the evening and the elements of the plan. To hear his remarks visit www.youtube.com/jleopold.

Supervisor Leopold said it was the "last step of the first phase of this effort," because it culminated a robust process where over 500 people participated in shaping the plan. The next phase will be about individual projects defined in the plan. New rounds for community meetings for each project will take place to ensure that the projects that are constructed reflect the priorities of the community. Stay tuned for more information.
